“You sure you’re okay with this?”
Alaric had offered to live with Elena and Jeremy and they had accepted. “It’s not too weird или anything?”
“No, Ric, you’re еще than welcome” Jeremy said.
“What about you, Elena? Are Ты okay with it?” Alaric asked.
Elena was busy with her phone, so she didn’t hear Ric. “Eh, what? Yeah, sure, no problem”
“Who’re Ты taxing?” Jeremy asked.
“Damon” Elena said. “He won’t answer any of my calls, so I hope he’ll reply to my messages”
“He’s avoiding you?” Ric asked surprised.
“Seems like it” Elena said. “I don’t get it. Why doesn’t he want to talk to me? I thought we cleared everything up”
Jeremy left to open the door and let Caroline in.
“Hey” she сказал(-а) when she got into the kitchen.
“Hey” Elena said. “You want some coffee?”
“No” Caroline said. “I’m just here because I think Ты should know the hospital’s going to release Bonnie today”
“What? So soon?” Jeremy asked surprised.
“Yeah, her injury is healing a lot quicker than they expected” Caroline said. “Anyways, I thought I should tell you, so Ты wouldn’t walk into her unexpected”
“Does Damon know?” Elena asked. “He’d freak out if he came across her”
“The Boarding House would be my Далее stop” Caroline said.
“Good” Elena said. “Caroline? While you’re there can Ты ask Damon to give me a call? I’ve been trying to reach him since morning, but he’s not picking up his phone and he won’t reply any of my messages”
“Sure, what’s going on? You’re not having a fight, have you?” Caroline asked.
Elena shook her head heavy. “No, not at all. That’s why I don’t understand why he won’t talk to me”
“Maybe’s he’s afraid to face Ты after what he tried to do last night” Jeremy tried to give a logical explanation.
“But I’m not holding that against him” Elena сказал(-а) frustrated. “He knows that. He should know that”
Caroline put her hand on Elena’s shoulder. “I’ll go talk to him”
And so she rushed to the Boarding House straight to the living room where she found Damon sitting on the couch, drinking Bourbon.
“Why are Ты dodging Elena’s phone calls?”
“Hello to Ты too” Damon said.
“Why are Ты dodging Elena’s phone calls?” Caroline repeated. “She wants to talk to you, why are Ты avoiding her? Has she done something wrong?”
“No” Damon сказал(-а) desperate. “I just don’t want to talk to her”
“Why not?” Caroline exclaimed.
“I don’t want to hear her say she wants to be friends” Damon said.
“What the hell are Ты talking about” Caroline said, completely lost.
“When I pick up that phone and listen to what she has to say, she will tell me that she thought she had a thing for me, but that she now realizes she only felt compassion for me”
Caroline shook her head heavy. “No, that’s not true. She doesn’t feel sorry for you. She loves you. I know she does”
Damon drank from his Bourbon. “She loves Stefan. She always has, right from the beginning. It’s always going to be Stefan, that’s what she said”
“That’s not fair, Damon” Caroline said. “And Ты know it. Ты won’t even give her a chance…You’re supposed to trust her еще than that”
“Are Ты done или was there something else?” Damon asked annoyed.
If Damon hadn’t asked her that Вопрос Caroline might have forgotten the reason she was here in the first place.
“Eh, yeah, actually there is” she сказал(-а) now careful. “Bonnie will be out of the hospital today”
“Great” Damon сказал(-а) pissed.

Elena and Bonnie were sitting outside the Grill, both having a lemonade, when both their phones rang.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
“Hello, Elena speaking” Elena said, trying not to give away anything and hoping Bonnie would be too caught up in her own conversation.
“It’s time” Damon said. “Meet me at the Boarding House. I’ll be in the car” He ended the conversation.
And so did Bonnie. “Elena, I’m so sorry, but I have to go” she apologized.
“Oh?” Elena сказал(-а) sheepish.
“Yeah, I’m having a дата tonight” Bonnie blushed.
“Really? That’s great! Who’s the lucky one?” Elena fired her curiosity.
“Ehm, I rather not say. At least not until it’s official” Bonnie said.
“Of course, I get it” Elena said. Bonnie put some money on the table. “See Ты tomorrow?”
“Yeah, tell me all that happened” Elena waved as Bonnie walked away. The moment she was gone Elena jumped up and ran away as if she was being chased.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.

Present Day
“She suggested to stay with her so we could catch up, but I already promised Keith to stay with him. But we spent еще time together. When Mayor Lockwood died I returned, but Ты know that. Ты basically stalked me with your calls to get Ты out of trouble. How many nights did Ты spend in jail?” Kelsey chuckled. Then she sighed. “If I had foreseen this I would’ve enjoyed those little moments”
Amber didn’t react.
“Amber, sweetie, did Ты fall asleep?” Kelsey asked with a squeezed voice, knowing better. She pulled her sister up, taking her face in her hands. “Come on, it’s night. You’re a vampire, Ты should be awake” she сказал(-а) with a trembling voice.
But Amber still didn’t Показать any sign of life.
“Amber?” Kelsey sobbed, tears rolling over her cheeks and she held her little sister tightly in her arms. The moon slowly rose…
